The book that I read was called Harry Potter and the Scorers Stone. This book was written by J.K. Rowling. I chose this book because my sister kept on begging me to start the series, so I started the series. This book is about a boy named Harry Potter who grows up with this relatives and then goes to Hogwarts, the school of witchcraft and wizardry.
One morning while living with his three muggle relatives (muggles are people that don't believe in magic), his uncle Vernon, aunt Petunia, and his mean cousin Dudley, Harry gets a piece of mail from the school of Hogwarts. His aunt and uncle don't want him to go but after a big fight with Harry, and Hagrid, Harry ends up going. Harry and Hagrid go to Gringotts, the biggest and safest bank in the wizard world to get Harry money to buy things for school. Hagrid also goes to another room where he takes a little package from. When harry asks him what it is, he says that it is Hogwarts business.When Harry finally gets to the train station, he notices that his ticket says that he has to go to platform 9 3/4. This is very weird because there is no platform 9 3/4. Later, he hears a women saying how the station is packed full of muggles. He follows this lady and her children. The lady helps Harry get onto the platform. On the train ride to Hogwarts, the lady’s son, Ron, asks to sit with Harry. Harry and Ron almost instantly become the best of friends. On the first day of school, the teacher that Harry really despises is Professor Snape. A few days later Harry was reading “The Daily Prophet” and he reads that a vault has been broken into. A goblin commented and said that if you knew what was in the vault you wouldn’t want to break into it. This get’s Harry wanting to know what was in the vault and where it is now.
The thing that I liked about this book was that it was always exciting and also that it was way better than the movie. It was better than the movie because it went into way more detail. I would recommend this book to a younger reader. It is also an easier read (and absolutley amazing, way better that the movie) XDXDXDXDXD :):):):):):):):):) good read!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
